Brewers Hire Thad Levine As Special Advisor

"Although Levine held the GM title, he was never atop the baseball operations department. He worked as top lieutenant under chief baseball officer/president of baseball operations Derek Falvey from 2017-24. The Twins made four playoff appearances, three of which were behind AL Central titles, within the first seven seasons. They looked on their way to another postseason berth in 2024 before a late-season collapse dropped them to an 82-80 record and put them on the outside looking in."

"Before his time in Minnesota, Levine spent more than a decade with the Rangers as an assistant GM. He'd worked in the Colorado front office prior to that. There was some thought that the Rockies could circle back to Levine when they dismissed GM Bill Schmidt at the beginning of the offseason, but there's no indication he wound up receiving serious consideration."

Thad Levine has been hired by the Milwaukee Brewers as a special advisor in baseball operations. It is his first MLB job since he stepped down as Minnesota GM after the 2024 season. Although he held the GM title, he worked under chief baseball officer Derek Falvey from 2017-24. The Twins made four playoff appearances during his tenure, including three AL Central titles, but missed the 2024 postseason after a late collapse. Levine previously spent more than a decade with the Rangers and worked in Colorado's front office. The Brewers already employ three assistant GMs and other former GMs as advisors.
